Labne or Yogurt Cheese

Labne is cream cheese made from Yogurt, very popular in Lebanon but it is part of the Middle Eastern tables. And I love it for its health benefits and I use it on sandwiches instead of butter. Eat with plain pita bread or with Mexican nachos. 

Ingredients: 

1.4 cup plain yogurt

2.1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste

3.Black ground pepper (I use it, you can use your choice of chilies like Paprika, or white    pepper or green chillies)

4.Muslin cloth for hanging the curd

5.You can also put your choice of hubs to lebne like parsley, thyme, rose merry etc)

Method:

Mix yogurt gently with salt and pepper in a bowl.

Put and wrap it with muslin cloth

Suspend the bag (please don't refrigerate first day), let drain all time. After day one you can refrigerate it.
